Derek Jeter's final All-Star appearance has helped boost television ratings for the game.

The American League's 5-3 win Tuesday in Minneapolis averaged more than 11.3 million viewers on Fox, up from 11 million for last year's game at the Mets' Citi Field in New York. The rating was up 9 percent for the first full half-hour, when the retiring Yankees shortstop first stepped to the plate.

The network said Wednesday that the 7.0 fast national rating was the highest since 2010. The 2012 edition set a record low with a 6.8.

Ratings represent the percentage of homes with televisions tuned to a program.

The trade was made Wednesday, the same day Patton was scheduled to participate in the Triple-A All-Star game. The Rangers will assign him to Triple-A Round Rock.

Frasor was 1-1 with a 3.34 ERA in 38 appearances this season, his second in Texas. The right-hander spent nine seasons with Toronto (2004-12), returning to the Blue Jays after being traded to the White Sox in July 2011 and finishing that season in Chicago.

In 624 major-league games, Frasor is 31-35 with 36 saves and a 3.65 ERA.

The injury-plagued Rangers (38-57) have the worst record in the majors and are 21 games behind the AL West-leading A's. Kansas City (48-46) is second in the AL Central, 6 1/2 games behind Detroit.

To make room on their roster, the Royals optioned Louis Coleman to Omaha and designated utility player Jimmy Paredes for assignment.

Dirks still hurting: The Detroit Tigers recalled Andy Dirks' injury rehab assignment, and the team says the outfielder is dealing with muscular inflammation in his lower back from increased activity. Dirks remains on the disabled list.

Dirks, 28, has not played this season because of back problems that required surgery. He hit .256 last year in 131 games.
